I cannot wait to see how Tien has some how absurdly worked his way up the reigns to be barely on the level of Beerus while all the other humans slacked off again.

Several of the other humans are right there in the picture with him. If Tien's presence can be taken as implying he worked his way up to even vaguely in that ballpark, then so did Krillin and Master Roshi apparently.

Edit: drat, double posted instead of editing. Oh well.

If the joke with Beerus is that he's a cat in personality, the joke with the Omni-King appears to be that he's a child in both personality as well as looks. So just handle their squabble like any sibling one really - separate them temporarily and then distract them with some new amusement and they'll forget they were ever upset or arguing within minutes.

This is all apart of Goku's plan to kill the gods. First he'll get the two Omnikings to fight and erase each other from existence, then he kills the Kais from every universe, which(if I remember right) will make all the Gods of Destructions disappear as well.

also, it's too bad Future Trunks didn't stick around and get to team up with 17 and 18 to do some sort of rad 3 on 3 fight. that would have been a fun twist on his whole thing

the fact that the vast majority of his friends are exactly that is my favorite shonen trope in general, but Dragon Ball totally did it the best.

Krillin is at least three times stronger at the beginning of the Saiyan attack.

Beerus should have Frieza revived for the Multiverse Tournament. He's like, the third strongest in the Universe. Mainly because I want to see Frieza vs Frost and have it just be Vegeta vs Cabba again, except with Frieza teaching Frost how to be a proper genocidal dictator.

The thing with Roshi is that at Max Power, he was possibly the most powerful thing until MAYBE Raditz, at the very least Nappa/Piccolo after Raditz died.

He could wipe out the moon, a feat that wasn't repeated until after Piccolo killed Raditz.

The problem with that is Roshi at Max Power cannot fight anyone. The only reason Great Ape Goku was in any danger was because he was a big dumb target that didn't know to get out of the way. Otherwise, Roshi simply cannot keep that power up with his old body, cannot move well with it, and his Kamehameha is too slow to really hit anything.

He's clearly been getting better at using it since we see him bust it out much faster against Freezer's men, but he mostly did well there because they were grouped up, perfect for his blast.

Krillin is undoubtedly more powerful than him at this point. Roshi is the weakest person in the line up. But that's fine. He's also the most unpredictable and nearly a gag character in and of himself. And we know how strong they are

Let me rephrase that- no one showed anything close to that in the rest of Dragon Ball.

King Piccolo could barely manage to destroy a city with his full power, though mind you he still showed himself to be way stronger than Omega Shenron who couldn't destroy a loving roller coaster track

The only other time we see some one destroy something like that would be Piccolo destroying the moon after he killed Raditz. And then after that we get Nappa and Vegeta, Vegeta we know was a planet buster.
